"Can't Help Falling in Love" spent nine weeks on the UK Singles Chart in early 1986, reaching a peak of number 42.[2] Where the Elvis Presley version of the song was long and relaxed, Lick the Tin's version was so manic and fast that it was considerably less than three minutes long.[1] As a result, three polkas were added to the end of the track to bring it to the desired length.[1]

Lick the Tins had two other minor singles, "Belle of Belfast City" (cover of "I'll Tell Me Ma") and "In the Middle of the Night", after which Simon Ryan left the band and was replaced by Martin Hughes, another Ulsterman. Lick the Tins played the college and club circuits for another year, before the band broke up.
